Away from Her

Fiona and Grant, a married couple from Ontario, have been married for over 40 years. Now, as life approaches its twilight, they are forced to admit that Fiona's "forgetfulness" is actually a manifestation of Alzheimer's disease, and she needs treatment.

For the first time in many years, the couple faces a long separation. According to the rules of the nursing home, visitors are not allowed in the first month to make it easier for the patient to adapt to the new conditions. When Grant finally visits Fiona, he is horrified to see that she has not only forgotten him but has also given her heart to another man.

The best epithet for describing Sarah Polley as a director and actress is subtle. She is wise and insightful, her stories are human, and her characters, just like in real life, are not divided into positive and negative.

Golden Globe for Best Actress.
